Alabama rules state that "a school may not video tape, nor film, any contest in which it is not involved unless it has received permission from both participating schools."

Blackmon released a statement of his own.

"We received a letter stating that I am suspended for Friday's game. I accept the ruling and will not appeal."

He goes on to share that he did not direct our young coach to record the video that led to the suspension, but he also didn't stop him from doing so.

"I've scouted games thousands of times. There's never been video taken. This is the first time and the last time," his statement went on to say.
